Clarence Patrick Maloney Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Clarence Patrick Maloney at the Lionel Kelland Hospice on September 27th, 2025. Clarence spent many years living in Buchans Junction, Pasadena and his last residence was Hollett Park Retirement, in Grand Falls Windsor.

Clarence’s greatest joy and proudest accomplishment in life was marrying his wife Vera and raising a family together. He often said he married the greatest woman on earth.

Over the years Clarence worked many jobs. He spent 37 years in public service working with Transportation and Works engineering, including road building and surveying. He worked as a school bus driver, taught at CONA, and spent time as a heavy equipment operator. Clarence concluded his career spending 17 years working with the Wildlife Enforcement Division. He served as a wildlife officer stationed in Buchans Junction and later moved to Pasadena and became Western Regional Wildlife Manager. Clarence took pride in mentoring young wildlife officers and developed life long friendships with many.

Clarence had many hobbies and enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved to cook, bake, fish and hunt. He enjoyed berry picking, cutting firewood, and camping.

Music was a lifelong passion for him. He found great joy in listening, singing, and playing a variety of instruments, including the guitar, mandolin, accordion, banjo, fiddle, and mouth organ. His creativity extended beyond music- he also enjoyed carpentry, sewing, and working with his hands. In his leisure time, he loved playing bingo and cards, sharing laughter and companionship with family and friends.

Above all Clarence was most proud of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, who brought him endless joy.

Clarence is predeceased by his wife, Vera, Parents: James and Nellie. Siblings: Mac, Richard, Rita, Annie, Marguerite, Marie, Alice, and Harvey. Son in Law Todd Cole and his special angel, grandson Jeff.

He will also be dearly remembered by his Grandchildren: Kara, Amanda, Candace, Cassandra, Mark, Eddie, Krista, Jaclyn, Kristopher, Samantha, Andrew, Julia, Jenna, Courtney, Melissa and Noah.

The family would like to send special thanks to The staff of Holletts Retirement Home, Dr. Dean, Dr. Campbell, and the Lionel Kelland Hospice for their care and compassion.

Clarence will be remembered for his love of family, his many talents, and the joy he brought to those around him. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.

 “How lucky am I to have something so special that it makes saying goodbye so hard.”

Clarence and Vera will be laid to rest together in Badger at a later date.
